I think it just shows how similar the positions are, especially when there's not a lot of nuance in the questions. I showed up with Edwards in the lead, but liked Hillary's actual responses better when I read them. But then, I'm for Hillary all the way -- health care is really complicated to change and it's not as if the Clintons were the first to fail (the failure of universal health coverage was one of the unfortunate downsides of the Nixon impeachment, and other presidents tried and failed as well). The experience of actually living through trying and not getting it to pass will both inform and motivate her in a way that the other Democrats really can't match.

BTW I've never even heard of Mike Gravel. In case you haven't either here is the old guys info.

Mike Gravel was born on May 13, 1930. He is a Democrat from Alaska. He served the state of Alaska as a Senator in the U.S. Senate from 1969 to 1981. He is primarily known for his efforts in ending the draft following the Vietnam War. While a Senator, Gravel spoke the Pentagon Papers into public record.

Bear,Yes I did hear about Caroline K was for Obama. Wow did her Uncle Ted come out swinging hard for Obama. He was all over Hillary...I heard that he recently had a phone call with Bill, and Bill really pissed him off!It showed in his speech supporting Obama.

I got Mike Gravel followed by Clinton and Obama. Don't really care for any of them...OK at the moment I am not really liking anyone left in the election. I like Clinton, but that negative crap has turned me off...being positive in the race was what made me like Bill in 92. I hate the sniping back and forth. I used to really like McCain but he has flipped on every major issue since 2000 and that is driving me nuts. The rest of the viable Republicans can stuff it as far as I am concerned. The Democrats are pissing me off....the Independents haven't really shown their faces yet.

Tonight at the State of the Union, Obama flat out turned his face on Clinton...I thought that was rude. She was shaking hands with Kennedy. Would have been nice to see them shake hands at least as a sign of healing. Course in DC my vote is useless really. It is solid Obama territory here, and DC always goes to the Democrat in the general election. Even Mondale won DC in 84 against Reagan, the only other "state" he won besides his home state of Minnesota.

Bear,Yes I did hear about Caroline K was for Obama. Wow did her Uncle Ted come out swinging hard for Obama. He was all over Hillary...I heard that he recently had a phone call with Bill, and Bill really pissed him off!It showed in his speech supporting Obama.

Should make for an exciting few days if nothing else.

I think when it comes down to a general election and moderate voters, Ted Kennedy's endorsement of Obama may really help Hillary.

Out of interest, I did it and got;HIlary Clinton - 80%John Edwarsds - 79%Barack OBama - 79%

Here is a commercial for Mike Gravel, although I am not sure its actually been aired on TV. His campaign (he is Democratic and still running) hasn't received much in donations.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rZdAB4V_j8

Its late and I guess I am tired because the questioneer didnt work for me..I am definety going with Hillary..

Lets hope she can grab up these last two states..She has much more experience than Obama..

I heard that men over 50 will vote for Obama, just not to have a women president.ummm....Men have been presidents, black men got to vote before women, so I think its timeto have a women as president...

Men have done enough and look where we are at its not a good place,is it?

So I say Hillary all the way...

btw, after Ted and Carol Kennedy went to support Obama, a few weeks later you saw Robert Kennedy's son, backing Hillary... Ted did tell Bill Clinton to back down on campaining for his wife but Bill refused so theywent to the darkside...........
